To help prevent fly-tipping on your land, you can take several proactive steps to ensure that your waste is disposed of responsibly and to reduce risks associated with illegal dumping.
Here's a table summarizing effective measures you can adopt:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use reputable, licensed waste carriers for disposal. |
| 2 | Check the Environmental Agency's public register to confirm a carrier's license. |
| 3 | Request and keep a Waste Transfer Note as proof of proper disposal. |
| 4 | Keep records of the collected waste, including details of the waste carrier. |
| 5 | Beware of unsolicited offers for waste removal, especially those that seem too good to be true. |
| 6 | Secure your waste storage area to prevent others from adding waste to it. |
By following these steps, you can reduce the likelihood of your waste being fly-tipped and protect yourself from potential legal issues. If you spot fly-tipping, remember to report it promptly using the resources available from Guildford Borough Council, such as reporting fly-tipping online.
